View article: Mechanical and morphometric approaches to body mass estimation in rhesus macaques: A test of skeletal variables
Mechanical and morphometric approaches to body mass estimation in rhesus macaques: A test of skeletal variables Open
Objectives Estimation of body mass from skeletal metrics can reveal important insights into the paleobiology of archeological or fossil remains. The standard approach constructs predictive equations from postcrania, but studies have questi…

Skeletal age during hurricane impacts fluctuating asymmetry in Cayo Santiago rhesus macaques Open
As natural disasters become more frequent due to climate change, understanding the biological impact of these ecological catastrophes on wild populations becomes increasingly pertinent. Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), or random deviations from…

The ontogeny of sexual dimorphism in free‐ranging rhesus macaques Open
Objective Reconstructing the social lives of extinct primates is possible only through an understanding of the interplay between morphology, sexual selection pressures, and social behavior in extant species. Somatic sexual dimorphism is an…

Elevated activity levels do not influence extrinsic fiber attachment morphology on the surface of muscle‐attachment sites Open
Extrinsic fibers (EFs) are a type of penetrating collagenous fiber, closely related to the periodontal ligament, which help anchor soft tissue into bone. These fibers are associated with muscle attachment sites (entheses). Their size and g…
